Guess what? The winner won using a perfect domain match. What have I been telling you lately about the power of a domain name.com?

Anyway, it’s a great spot to look for what’s currently passing link juice and what’s not, where to drop your links and where to parasite host. Despite the name of the forum, don’t expect too much hard core BHSeo, lol. Anyway, here you have some examples:

Yes, you need some SEO. But as a Black Hat, I won’t give you the same build links and get some original on topic content. Of course that’s important, but let me tell you some new and still not overused tricks:

RSS

In case you still didn’t notice, Google Webmaster Tools now tracks the number of your RSS feed subscribers you have. And having a large subscription base can easily shoot your articles rankings up. The magic number seems to be at least 25 for most things; however, if you can get this number well over 50, it won’t be very hard to get highly competitive article themes way up in the rankings.

But how do I boost my subscriptions you now ask. No, it’s no good to Photoshop your feedburner widget. Instead, let’s try some online rss readers. Just create several Gmail accounts use each account to subscribe to your own rss feed. Use as many online readers, aggregators you may find like Netvibes. How do you think Shoemoney got that overnight boost on rss subscribers on the dispute with John Chow?

BOUNCE

Google is using a comprehensive measure of how of your pages bounce rate and takes into account when calculating your overall rankings. If you’re pages are bouncing over 80 percent of the time back to the search results, it’s highly likely that the rankings will either be demoted or drop off completely. Between 50 and 60 percent seems to be the average that keeps a site ranked and consistent. However, if you can get the site to bounce less than 20 percent, you’ll be performing in the top percentile and consistently rank well.

Again how can you improve your bounce rate you may ask? No, it’s not enough to show some great boobs! Instead you need to JavaScript disable the back button on your sites! That will prevent people from going back to the search results.

Browse the web for several ways to do this, here’s a nice one for Firefox from Jeremiah Grossman.

FLOOD

The People Flood tactic, has been in use for a very long time now, and is still very effective. What this tricks does is simple: a bunch of people search for your keywords and clicks on your pages.

The best and most effective way to do this is using an iframed Google xss injection on a high traffic site. However nowadays it’s very hard to find a Google xss and the ones found stay unpatched for a very short time. But why do you need a xss? Because G now uses a token to track your cookie.

So that leaves you not many choices but to use cheap human labor. Amazon’s mechanical turk is one of the options.

1. Restaurants
2. Physicians & Surgeons
3. Hotels
4. Auto Repairing & Service
5. Florists-Retail
6. Auto Dealers-New & Used
7. Dentists
8. Auto Parts & Supplies - New & Used
9. Beauty Salons (tie)
10. Hospitals (tie)

This list was put out by the Yellow Pages Association. The data was collected by Knowledge Networks/SRI.

The story soon appeared around the world. Digg users pumped it up to a total 2452 diggs, driving tons of traffic to the page. Then news outlets started leaping on the story. In Australia News.com.au, The Daily Telegraph, and more all publicized the story, driving hundreds of links and thousands of site visitors back. Back in the UK, best selling newspaper The Sun published the story in their pages. News services loved the story of what American teens can get up to. In the states, Fox News aired the story, later spread wide through YouTube.

But the whole article was fake. Now the fun part began. Lyndon couldn’t resist himself and made the classical mistake: gloating. On announcing the hoax on his own website, he created a buzz all over and the discussion is still going on how unethical the move was.

My intention is not to discuss if he was right or wrong, he ruined it all anyway, Matt spoke and so no linkjuice from Google now. The only, most important part of the puzzle was the domain name and no one seems to acknowledge this! Well, almost no-one.

On Sphinn story comments page, scroll down the page and you’ll find this:

[…]checked the originating website and saw it was money.co.uk and went ‘wow, it’s true.’ It’s there. Read the comments. There are close to 150 of them and only about five call it a fake. The rest want to canonize the kid. They discussed whether it was fake and decided it was true. Based on the website.”

Yes, but it was not based on the website, it was a decision based on the domain name! Solely based on the domain name! That finally brings me to the title of this post: how to successfully launch a website with a premium domain and only $100, with just two simple steps:

• 1. Write a funny fake on-topic story and publish it on the premium domain. You can also copy one already posted and give it a twist; TheOnion is a great place to get started looking for cool fake stories.
• 2. Buy some Diggs for the story. Current exchange rate is $1 a Digg. 100 Diggs will win the initial inertia and after that, reaching the homepage is easy. I want promise it would go Fox News or The Sun but, as seen on TV, your chances are very good.

I really enjoy reading it as everyone knows that, but very few post about it. And even less post about how the Million Dollar Homepage was not a lucky strike but a very detailed laid down scheme.

You know I am free to talk about this, because almost unlike no other blogs, this one DOES NOT HAVE ANY ADS, so I am not trying to sell you any idea or any shit thing.

How do spot the faking “just got rich” news? You don’t, at least till they start to vainglory themselves on areas you are expertise on! I am lot into domains, as you know, and when some of those make-money-online-follow-me-I-am-the-best post the usual monthly record breaking earning report and split it apart by elements: adsense, affiliates, link ads, subscriptions, domains, and you see things like 50 parked domains: $5000 revenue, you roll on the floor laughing! If that was the case, that dude would be a well know domainer because he would have a portfolio of domains worth millions, lol! Jeremy puts it right: “When all else fails just lie”

Back to the Million Dollar Homepage, now what I, Patrick, you and everyone want to know from day one is who was the PR?! I want to hire him also!

I have done some research on this and I think it was a friend of his father and both he and his dad made it all out while Alex kept going to school and having a regular teenage life.

Of course PR secrecy was part of the scheme or else it would have not worked out the way it did. So we might never find who he really was, only the first journalists contacted know the truth.

Hey mister journalists out there, this would do a great story: “The million dollar homepage story uncovered”

That’s why when trying to fresh register domains using top keywords lists from Overture (RIP), WordZe, WordTrack or any keyword tool, you’ll quickly find out they are all taken, including the most remote tlds! I can also assure you having a keyword.com is one hell of a giant leap over several months classic SEO hard work.

As Google algorithm evolves and changes, we domainers must keep our eyes wide open to new breaks that can surface just around the corner.

One of the best (and hard) ways to know (even beforehand) how Google algorithm will evolve is to read Google fillings for patents! I know, it’s stomach-churning, but someone has to do it.

One of the latest patents is about a new index method: US Patent 7,319,994, granted January 15, 2008. It’s named: Document compression scheme that supports searching and partial decompression.

In the end, what it refers to is a new, much faster way to index and search using a compressed index and partial decompression searches. There’s a paragraph specifically about stop words:

Typically, given a query, the performance bottleneck is the time it takes to decode the occurrences (which are typically delta encoded to save space, and thus have to be followed from the beginning) of the most frequently occurring term, especially if this term is a so-called stop-word such as “the”.

The new system would look for the less popular terms that appear in the query, and then look to see if the stop words in the query are nearby.

Is this already implemented? The answer is yes. You don’t see stop warnings anymore. Just try searching for The Great Game.

You know what you to do next: here’s a list of stop words in English and some other languages, and happy domain hunting!

The only thing that worries me is the fact Google does not highlights the “The” on theGreatDomain.com domain. Further tests will be made. Keep visiting…

You have one month to scrap your favorite leywords.

IMPORTANT: Also don’t forget to go to netbilling.com and cancel your WordZe subscription before the 30 days are over. There no link on the WordZe dashboard to remind you of that. You can cancel the service right away and still be able to use it for a month, avoiding the risk of forgeting to do it later.

There is a vulnerability in Wordpress that makes use of a known feature called “Post Timestamp”, meaning you can write a post and set a posting date into the future; the post will only be displayed at that time.

The vulnerability, first released by Michael Brooks, also reported a while ago on Bugtraq and today on XSS news, allows you to see “future posts”, posts that are not yet ready for posting. This means you can know the future of your preferred blog.

And it works. For instance, tomorrow, ShoeMoney is going to post about UFC 79 Nemesis Matt Hughes VS George St Pierre.

Update: Problogger is even funnier, with post for the 23th, 24th and the “Best of ProBlogger - 2007″ on the 25th. LOL.

Most domain registrars (have yet to find one that does) will not filter what you put on your REGISTRANT CONTACT INFO and WILL allow the script tag! Just try for yourself and rebaptize yourself as : John <script>alert("Black Hat Domainer")</script>

As you know, being able to run scripts, the sky is the limit. You can be a hacker and steal document.cookie to hijack a session to get complete access to another domainer account or be a nice guy and put an entire cool game on your registrant contact info.

Keep in mind you will be injecting your own page, so you better use it to more harmless stuff like logging people’s visits.

Who is vulnerable? Many, many whois info grab pages, including Whois.net or registrar Dynadot.com.

Update: Dynadot fixed the xss, after some fuzz on some well known domainers forums. Others are still vulnerable.

Last, but not least, it’s not everyday you receive such a nice compliment from one of the top gurus ever!
